UNT Green Brigade @ OU in '01: an orange street cone was thrown from the stands and hit a band member. Fan was located and ejected. Despite a strong showing from the 80K fans, Green Brigade won 14-7. You could elaborate on your OU story and nothing would suprise me. -gm

We've been thinking this for years. I'll believe it when I see it. *Keeping my fingers crossed* -gm

Ktulu: how about a little insight on your team? Seems like many say this is a very down year for you guys, but some publications (including SportingNews) have you guys as high as #3 in the WAC...that tells me there are a lot of "what ifs". Perhaps you can shed some light on this, because there doesn't seem to be anybody else from the Tech board interested in saying anything outside of sophomoric name calling and swears. Everyone's heard about our QB situation and the RB duo we have; what's the scoop on you guys: Key players (I keep reading about a great LB) What's going to happen w/o Moats? How has your 3-4 scheme faired against running games similar to ours? thanks buddy, -gm

great thread, btw.

No question that when I visit Denton, I have to visit these places: Hooya Mr. Chopsticks Sweetwater Hooters was another great place for their beer/wings, but I wanted to stick with answers that are unique to Denton (in my experience; not sure if there are other Hooyas/SW's). -gm

Thanks meangreente, cool eh? This was already posted here: http://www.gomeangreen.com/board2/index.ph...=ST&f=4&t=22111

how do you know of him having NT interest?

I'll take it w/a grain of salt, but have we ever been ranked this low in overall D?

True, Baby Arm: we would love to have fans similar to what ND can claim. But even a Notre Dame subway fan would be put in his place if asked where they graduated from. I think'd it be funny to find that ND subway fan who graduated from, say, U of Tennessee that has only a small UT flag hanging from their wall surrounded by TONS of ND paraphernalia. If it were me, I'd feel a little awkward defending myself if some observer brought that up. -gm

I was perusing the NCAA records here: http://www.ncaa.org/library/records/footba...all_records.pdf and noticed on the 24th page a couple team stats held by Tech: in 2003 vs. Iowa St they set the single-game record for most offensive plays with 111. in 1939 vs. Centenary they set the single-game record for FEWEST offensive plays with just TWELVE. Both records still stand, obviously

I voted for LT...two reasons: I haven't seen many of the others play. I saw him several times, including when he shredded UTEP for 400+ yards in a single game. I never saw him (at the collegiate level) get caught from behind; he is so strong that he'd just swat would-be tacklers off his back. It really is kind of cool to me to see him succeed like he has in the NFL. I saw Benson play in the UNT game where he had something like 49 yards TOTAL. I know he did very well the second go-around with us, however. I just didn't see anything so spectacular about him.

Most complimentary SMU post I've read on this board! My best regards to you and good luck to you Ponies this season.

I looked up Kassel's stuff on ESPN and found this. You can see how he REALLY came on towards the end of the season. He is such a great story. In fact, many UNT players, either current students, former, or NFLers make for great stories. ***chest swells with pride*** -gm

Is that what they've been saying all this time? how komical

There are many aspects of the English alphabet that make our language very paradoxical. It's no secret that our language is very hard to learn for foreigners. C is one of them, and I believe we can attribute its longetivity to the Italian influence on our language. Just go to an Italian resturaunt, look at the menu and see all the different ways you can thank them for the use of C. A more recent example that I can't get out of my head is the latest Jack-in-the-Box commercial for the Ciabatta Sandwich. For those of you who haven't seen it (pretty funny clip), it's pronounced chuh-bah-duh, with all short-sounding vowels and the accent given to the "bah" part. -gm

I had to read that one twice.

nope...from m-w.com: 3 entries found for caw. caw Audio pronunciation of "caw" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kô) n.

ummm...football coverage? j/k

Ladies and gents of MGN: your poll of the year

omg...i gave that original a second look, and then had to actually laugh out loud when I read your reply, greeneagle.

Williams is a proven 'dual-threat, as I understand he has done well catching the ball. Maybe I'm remembering wrong (and Im sure some here will tell you that happens a lot), but Thomas hasn't been asked to catch much this year. Whatever works for the scheme, right? -gm

Carey would have said something in line with: "But, HEY...if they ball were made of green cheese, would 'ja want to score with it, or eat it? HECK, I know I'd eat it."

Mini....exactly 1/8th the size of full-size Ditkas.

Time for some Ditka cliches: You MIGHT get that score...with 12 Ditkas on the field ..driving buses ...and UNT spotting you 43 before the game kicks off
